Heck, they already invite them in for dinner.

Cats are evil! The cat set the fire! :grumpy:
Dogs are heroic. They not only retrieve their owner's artificial leg, retrieve the phone so their owner can dial 911, and drag their owner to safety, but they will give their life to save even an evil cat!
Poor 13-year-old 3-legged chihuahua!
I'm just guessing about the breed and the number of legs.

Which is Better: Cats or dogs??
Quit hunting so close to the highway. She's obviously pointing at road kill and letting you know the prey is already dead. :rofl:big man said:For some reason cats love dying on me so I've come to the conclusion that they're pretty average.
Dogs are good though. My dog isn't the best of hunters though...it hasn't got the hang of how to do it. You know how some dogs will point to their target with one of their front legs? Well my dog points with the front leg and then lifts one of the back legs and stretches it out too (pointing behind it of course). So she loses balance every time and falls over. So she obviously hasn't had a good strike rate for killing pigeons.
I love Siamese cats. I think some people are annoyed by their "talking" but I think they are great!USAPatriot said:Siamese cats! I currently have 3. http://www.usapatriotsamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33"
How about starting out with a Norwegian Blue Parrot (pining for the fjords)? I understand that they're really easy to clean up after, they're not noisy, and they don't molt.arildno said:I can't decide between either cats or dogs (I've never had either). Perhaps I should settle for an oyster.
Ember can't be that smart - she owns a Mac.Moonbear said:Well, Ember has been swaying my opinion toward cats as being much smarter than dogs.

She was helping me write my grant proposal there. She took a very keen interest in the atlas of the rat brain.
That's why she's reading Larkspur's posts and not yours. :tongue: Larkspur tells her how pretty she is.BobG said:Ember can't be that smart - she owns a Mac.
Uh oh, the smilies don't work. Duck!
They have all been eaten by Albin, the white moose, I'm afraid.turbo-1 said:How about starting out with a Norwegian Blue Parrot (pining for the fjords)? I understand that they're really easy to clean up after, they're not noisy, and they don't molt.

BobG said:Our cats are evil, mean, and probably smoke cigarettes when we're not home.
Maybe that's why I haven't seen a white-tail all season. An albino moose moved in and ate them all. I never spotted the albino moose during the summer, but now that there is snow everywhere, that rascal would be practically invisible, like "Predator".arildno said:They have all been eaten by Albin, the white moose, I'm afraid.
Only recently was it discovered that albino moose are carnivores.

That's neat.
Cats and dogs have many differences, including their physical appearance, behavior, and care needs. Cats are typically smaller and more independent, while dogs are larger and more social. Cats also have retractable claws and are known for their agility and grace, while dogs have non-retractable claws and are known for their loyalty and protective nature.
This is subjective and ultimately depends on personal preference. Some people may prefer the low-maintenance and independent nature of cats, while others may enjoy the companionship and loyalty of dogs. Both cats and dogs can make great pets, it just depends on what qualities and characteristics you are looking for in a pet.
In general, dogs are considered easier to train than cats. This is because dogs are more social and have a natural desire to please their owners, making them more receptive to training. However, with patience and consistent training, cats can also learn basic commands and behaviors.
This also depends on the individual animal and their specific needs. In general, dogs require more attention and care than cats. Dogs need to be walked, exercised, and groomed regularly, while cats are more low-maintenance and can entertain themselves for longer periods of time.
Yes, cats and dogs can live together peacefully with proper introduction and training. It is important to supervise their interactions and provide each animal with their own space and resources. Some cats and dogs may never become best friends, but with patience and proper care, they can coexist in the same household.
